Cory Cissell, MAS with Cap America, will join the 2 Regular Guys this Friday. We’ll be talking headwear trends today and all things hats and caps. Plus, we’ll talk about employee training, quality assurance, and more from Cory’s position as VP of Customer Experience. This will be a rewarding high ranging discussion and an opportunity to talk to someone with over 10 years of experience in headwear and promotional products.

Our regular listeners know this, but 2 Regular Guys are all about garment decorating, a bit of fun, and no rants, lectures, or selling. We are not doing this for our employers but rather for our industry.

We work hard to bring you information that will make your business better and our industry better. Take a look at our incredible weekly guest list, and you’ll understand where this industry goes for news, interviews, and the heartbeat of garment decorating. Thanks for listening!
